If you haven't been before, we strongly recommend that you read the information about guidelines, kitchen and accommodation before booking. Links to this info are at the bottom of the page.

Everyone attending, young and old, is expected to understand and live by the five precepts for the duration of the event.

The Five Precepts are:

1. Not Intentionally harming living beings

2. Not taking what does not belong to you

3. Not indulging in sexual misconduct

4. Not using speech to harm or lie

5. Not taking recreational drugs or alcohol

Amaravati Family Events reserves the right to cancel any bookings that are deemed unsuitable or inappropriate.

BOOKing YOUR PLACE

Rainbows, June Weekend and Family Camp

There is one application form that can be used for any of these three events.

We can accommodate approx. 60 people at Rainbows and June Weekend; 90 people at the Summer Camp. There is a need to balance continuity in the running of these 3 events with reaching out to new people who wish to attend. To achieve this a number of places are allocated to those with previous experience of family events and for the coordinators. Other places are reserved for new families, and are allocated by a 'picking out of the hat' system. No-one is excluded if they are unable to make a financial donation.

Please note the deadline of 28th February for receipt of application forms.

WHERE WILL WE SLEEP? *

Accommodation is in rooms and dormitories, with an option of camping in the warmer months.
Most rooms have one single bed and floor space for a single camping-style mat or a mattress. There
are very few rooms with more than one bed. Priority for rooms is given to those with younger
children. There is plenty of space in the dormitory. Please tick which you would prefer. Whilst we
will try our best, we cannot guarantee you will get your preference.

DISCLAIMER *

Amaravati Buddhist Monastery is fully committed to safeguarding the welfare of all children and young people. It recognises its responsibility to take all reasonable steps to promote safe practice and to protect children from harm, abuse and exploitation.
You may expect that those in the position of coordinators for the Retreat act as responsible adults and take reasonable measures to ensure safety.

4. Not using speech to harm or lie
5. Not taking recreational drugs or alcohol

We expect that those in the position of coordinators for the Retreat act as responsible adults and take reasonable measures to ensure safety. It would not be our intentions to make any claim unless there was intentional harm or neglect of reasonable precautions.

We agree to abide by the Five Precepts as the basis for the family events and understand that of we break these precepts we may be asked to leave.
